Don’t think of him as gone away,
His journey’s just begun.
Life holds so many facets,
This earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears,
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
That we could know today,
How nothing but our sadness
Can really pass away.
And think of him as living
In the hearts of those he touched,
For nothing loved is ever lost
And he was loved so much.

We are so very sorry to hear this sad news. Our son, Lance, was a classmate of Ricky’s at CdM, as well as a teammate during the AYSO soccer years and on the wrestling team at CdM. Most recently, Lance was always grateful for Ricky’s cheerful and ingenious help at Ace Hardware, where Ricky worked during his senior year. Lance often said he could not have gotten through all the Physics projects at CdM without Ricky. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Clay, Susan, and Lance Seger
